Great, could you also provide the output when receiving the focus grabbing notification?

yes, sure, here you can see im typing random letters in terminal, just pressing on the key, and when notification appears, i stop typing, thats beacause it stole the focus, and i need to refocus in the window

i tried from config file with

"notification-2fa-action": false,

but the notification actions still appear

I'm experincing the same issue on hyprland.

[ErikReider]

This does seem like a hyprland issue. The notifications are set to on_demand keyboard interactivity and most of the other compositors require the user to explicitly focus the layer surface when it's mapped. Seems like hyprland grabs the focus instead. Not much that I can do about it.

Might wanna open an issue in the hyprland repo and see what vaxry thinks :)

[wolf-yuan-6115]

Seems like an old issue. I got a workaround by added float_switch_override_focus = 2 in input section.

However this workaround sometimes works but result is okay for me.

[ErikReider]

Closing due to it being a Hyprland issue

[SherLock707]

I was facing same this week. I noticed this only happens when there is a inline-reply in the notification. So I just set these two to false:

 "notification-2fa-action": false,
 "notification-inline-replies": false,

This fixed the focus grab issue for me.
